PP2P Technologies develops a patented hierarchical peer-to-peer communication protocol, designed in France, that removes the need for a central server in enterprise collaboration tools. A sovereign infrastructure building block at the crossroads of cybersecurity, distributed systems and embedded artificial intelligence.
Where collaboration suites rely on a single cloud server (a point of failure and of data capture), the PP2P protocol organises the company's workstations into a self-balancing hierarchical topology, with no central point whatsoever.
Nodes organise themselves automatically into levels (root → relays → leaves) with load balancing, election and automatic failover. No manual network configuration.
Messages travel in clocked logical convoys (metadata, transactions, events, messaging, files), each with its own priority, lifetime and encryption. This patented mechanism guarantees ordering and prevents congestion without any central coordinator.
Independent encryption of transport (mutual TLS over private X.509 certificates), application content (AES-256-GCM), sensitive fields, data at rest, and cryptographic signatures for critical actions. No node is implicitly trusted; every message is timestamped and replay-protected.
Identities rooted in a per-company internal certificate authority: roles carried by certificates (management, administration, employee), dual validation of sensitive actions, immediate revocation propagated across the whole network.
Segmented company directory synchronised peer to peer, signed state snapshots, automatic reconstruction after an outage: the network keeps running in degraded mode (LAN only) and reconciles when connectivity returns.
Language models executed locally on the company's machines (correction, summarising, retrieval-augmented document search), with no data transferred to foreign APIs.
The core of the protocol — the temporal organisation of communications into secure
hierarchical convoys — is covered by a patent filed with the INPI (French
patent office). The company develops its entire software stack in-house (protocol,
application-level encryption, business applications, embedded AI), with no dependency on
any third-party platform.
